HC Deb 22 May 1980 vol 985 c320W
Mr. Anthony Grant

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what effect the cutback in public expenditure will have on the position of transplant surgery.

Dr. Vaughan

There has been no reduction in planned spending on the Health Service this year, and there is provision for growth in future years. It is the responsibility of individual health authorities to determine what resources to allocate to transplant surgery in the light of all local circumstances.
